10. Jeep Moving Jobs from Ohio to China

In late October, Romney tried to mitigate Obama’s edge on the auto bailout among Ohio voters by cutting an ad that suggested Chrysler was going to manufacture Jeeps in China rather than the Buckeye State. The ad was clearly misleading, a mashup of unsupported assertions and deceptive suggestion. It backfired badly. Representatives of Chrysler and GM publicly smacked Romney for the deception, and Obama went on to carry Ohio – and with it the presidency.
